Westmount Bible Chapel, Peterborough, ON
From BrethrenPedia
Westmount Bible Chapel is an independent Bible church in Peterborough, ON, Canada. It was founded prior to 1927 as an open brethren assembly. In its early days it was known as McDonnel Street Gospel Hall, then by 1964 it rebranded as McDonnel Street Gospel Chapel, and its current name in 1969.
WBC has greatly valued its assembly heritage, and continues a number of its traditions, from elder leadership to breaking bread weekly, although it may also appeal to those seeking an independent Bible church. About 2003, in an effort to encourage assembly unity, the two morning services (Breaking of Bread and Family Bible Hour) were combined into one.
The assembly has also historically had at least one full-time resident worker, also serving as one of the elders, and typically have had Brethren background, but in 2015 the Lord sent a recent graduate of The Master's Seminary in Los Angeles, a newcomer to the assemblies, who has faithfully served over a decade in expository preaching, see [1] for variety of series. David Aldom relocated to Peterborough in 2000, and has served on the elder team, and a correspondent for many years.
